The next day...
She was still asleep, her breath has stabalized and she doesn't seem to be in pain anymore but her body as of right now is frail, she's completely malnourished so I decided to go out and hunt some animals, hopefully I'll find some animals that we can eat.
I went out and found out that I still haven't properly disposed of the bodies from yesterday and they were starting to smell so I quickly pulled the bodies and threw them off a river heading downstream, I can't be bothered burying them. Let the fish nibble their corpses, It's what they deserve.
With the help of Lilith's detection, I soon came across what seems to be a wild chicken, this wild chicken could reach up to my waist and it seems to have sharp tooth and claws, clearly this chicken was a carnivore. I crept towards it making sure that it doesn't notice me and when I was in striking range I quickly beheaded it with Azazel.
Blue bubbles started floating up from the corpse and went into me, at first I checked my body but found nothing so I asked Lilith.
"Lilith, what was that?"
"Basing from the old database, this is what they call EXP. Points" Lilith replied
"Please explain"
"These exp. points are needed to level up, if you level up you will receive a boost in your stats and will be given 1 points which can be used to improve a skill that you have mastered, also in leveling up, once you reach a certain level you will be given a choice to either change classes, there is also a chance that you will be given a skill based on your class" Lilith explained.
"Then show my stats."

"hey Lilith, what's with the title" It was the first thing I noticed
"Insufficient data" Guess we still lack information about this world
But this really feels like a game now...No, I already killed people of this world and it is not a game.
I started walking back to the run down house to cook the chicken, and along the way I grabbed some dried leaves and twigs. I also found a bamboo so I cut open it's top and let the water flow in making it a makeshift water bottle.
When I returned to the house, the woman was still asleep so I started cooking the chicken outside, After 20 minutes, the chicken was now well roasted so I killed the fire and wrapped the roasted chicken in a banana leaf before entering the house.

I don't know if it was the smell but once I entered the room, the lady woke up and looked at me. After three minutes, she finally processed everything and hid herself.
"Excuse me, are you hungry?" I should make a good impression first.
"I-I'm so sorry d-dem-demonic l-lord!" demonic lord?
Wait a minute! I quickly grabbed the largest piece of a broken mirror and looked at myself, I had my helet on which was glowing red in the eye while my Armor gave off a crimson blood gleam. I really do look like a demon however I cannot let her see my face either.
"Don't worry, I'm not a demon, I won't hurt you! I was just cursed by a demon to have a very ugly face so I put on this helmet!" I tried to reason with her, It seems to be working because she stopped prostating on the ground and looked at me.
"Here, are you hungry?" I cut off a piece from the chicken I roasted and handed it to her.
She was a bit cautious at first but in the end, she took it and ate it with joy. It seemed like it wasn't enough so I cut the chicken in half and gave half to her.
Sure I might be a cyborg but I still have most of my organs, Only my heart was replaced with an artificial one.
The lower part of my helmet opened, revealing my mouth. She was shocked at first but she still continued eating, she must really be hungry.
After we ate our meal I introduced myself.
"Hey, I'm Zeno"
"I-I'm Cynthia" she said as she meekly bowed
It got awkward really fast. 'Lilith, help me' I quickly asked Lilith
'Replies available:
Are you single?
Want to go out?
Are you Virgin?'
'Lilith, what the hell are you suggesting?!'
'This information has been taken from observing Johny'
'Delete that info, you know he never got a lady ever in his life!' I still remember that scumbag who tried to pick up women with stupid pick up lines
'Information Deleted, Insufficient data, help request denied'
Guess I'll have to do this myself.
"Uhm, I know we just met but I guess this is where we part ways" I honestly have no idea how to speak to women so I'll just head straight to the point. I've already helped her, that should be enough
"N-No, Please take me in!" she started prostating again
"No, I possibly can't I have no ability to take care of others"
"Please! I am a slave, I have nowhere to go!" she started crying

"Slave?" I forgot this was a thousand years in the past, of course slavery is present here.
"Yes, my family sold me off to pay some debts" She said as her eyes wondered in the distance.
'Cynthia seems to be lying' Lilith managed to see through her.
"Please stop lying and tell me the truth" I said
"H-How did you know?" She was shocked
"Incstincts" Thank you very much Lilith
"I...I am Cynthia Night, Princess of the kingdom of Acacia...was the princess"
"What do you mean?"
"The kingdom of Acacia no longer belongs to our family, It was taken over by my corrupt uncle. He staged a coup and killed every member of my family...except for me"
"Then how did you manage to become a slave?"
"I was caught soon after but that son of his was as stupid as a pig and mistook me for my personal maid, she switched places with me so that I could be sold off at the slave market..."
'Lilith?' I was still a bit skeptical so I asked Lilith
'Scanning shows that she is telling the truth' she replied after a few seconds
"Okay then, I believe you but the most I can do is take you to the closest town" I really need to keep my Identity a secret.
"Please...Make a slave contract with me"
"I'm really sorry but I can't"
"If you don't I'll die"
'Lilith...' If what she says is true then...
'Truth' Lilith replied with no hesitation
"How come?"
"I was given a slave's curse, If I'm away from the slave master for too long then I will die but If I signed a contract with you then the seal will transfer to you" She explained
"Give me a reason to help you"
"...I still want to live...so I can avenge my family"
I too was like that, I was willing to throw away everything even my humanity just so that I can get back at those aliens who killed not only my family, but also my friends and their families, In the end I actually sold off my humanity and turned myself into a cyborg with the help of Dr.Alissa and killed the queen. I really did it didn't I? but what's left for me to do? I can't even return to my own timeline...should I help Cynthia or stop her?
Revenge was something that drove me to the extreme but after killing the queen, that drive suddenly vanished and now I feel deflated..like I lack a reason to live...
'Suggestion, find love and settle down' Lilith had always read my thoughts
'But...only Dr.Alissa was the one for me...' It was stupid of me to only realize it now...
'Regret is something we feel when we lose something, but with time we will learn to live with it' Lilith explained
'In that time that I learn to live with it, I will also attain some things...right?'
'correct'
I've decided, I will stop Cynthia
"Cynthia, I will make a contract with you but on one condition"
"what is it?"
"Don't go for revenge"
"you know, it's funny... my parents also said the same thing while blood flowed out of their mouths" She started crying
"revenge is never the best path...trust me"
"THEN WHAT ELSE WILL I HAVE TO LIVE FOR?!" she started breakig down...
"Nothing for now" It was all I can say
"Then...please give me a reason to live..." she started crying...it seem's like she's gotten over the death of her parents long ago but only used revenge as a reason to live.
"I give you any reasons now but we will eventually find one, let's travel together" I'm gonna take care of her like how Dr.Alissa took care of me in the past...
"...you're not very convincing..." She laughed even though she was still crying before continuing "but strangely enough... I feel relieved.." She said that as she stopped sobbing.
"I guess even with my ugly looks, I still have my charm" I joked
"Charm huh...anyway...let's go" She quickly stood up and pumped herself up
"You forgot sometihng"
"Right! the contract!"
"how do we do this?"
"please present me with your blood"
Blood?!...If I stab my arm Oil will come out or those enchanced blood that we cyborg's use...
'Lilith, please direct a small amount of blood to my thumb'
'request granted'
I turned around and punctured my thumb with Azazel and soon enough, blood flowed out. I quickly put the blood on top of a small bamboo. Cynthia took it while looking at me with a weird face before she licked it, afterward a circle appeared beneath her feet, it glowed in a blood red color as letters I've never seen before started dancing around it and in the end, it wrapped around Cynthia's neck and formed a necklace.
"contract complete, Nice to meet you Master Zeno" Cynthia smiled

8 95Apostle of the Goddess
A disappointed man dreams of leaving the confines of Earth and living adventures in fantastic realms...Suddenly, his wish is granted... Albeit in a far different way from what he could have expected. An isekai genre story with a few elements from LitRPG. The overall tone will be jumping back and forth from light to dark. Expect a lot of references to anime, manga, games, etc.It is written in first-person view and will contain a side-story using a "real-life" character. Initially, the MC will be writing the story as a true journal, so the prologue and first chapters may appear a mess of things that already happened, journal entries, and afterthoughts. A few chapters in, it will change into a normal, first-person manner retelling of what happened (storywise the character "Records" what happened to him). This is a side project of mine, so I will be uploading a few chapters per month. Chapters may have a severe difference in length (albeit I will try to maintain them around 3k), but expect the overall monthly word count to be not less than 15k words.Author recommendation, if you intend to follow the story, read the new updates once a month (counting from the day the first chapter is uploaded). Content Warning: I do intend to include a few disturbing moments to emphasize the darkness of the human (and other beings) nature, so please consider that even though some chapters (especially the starting ones) are kinda like a comedy routine.
